LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - 'Big Brother' star Grace Adams-Short has been left "scarred for life" after a vicious street attack.
The dance teacher - who is dating fellow contestant Mikey Dalton, 23 - was punched to the ground, kicked in the head and burned with a cigarette during the assault outside London's trendy G.A.Y nightclub in the early hours of yesterday (18.09.06).
Trouble allegedly broke out after the TV star's friend got into an argument with a group of drunken revellers.
Grace said: "It was terrifying. The doctors have said I'll be scarred for life."
Grace - who became a hate figure for many viewers after the show because of her back-stabbing antics - insists the attack was not related to her fame.
She said: "The guy just lashed out because I tried to stop him hurting my friend. He was an animal. I hope he is found and punished."
Despite her ordeal, Grace remains in good spirits and even joked that her first concern was for her designer handbag.
She said: "What's weird is that, when I could see the blood pouring down, my first thoughts were, 'Oh, no, my Gucci handbag will be ruined."
